Inventor Promises New Depth Range for Movies
New York scientist Dr. Alfred N. Goldsmith unveils the IR System a method to widen camera depth by synchronizing lighting and focus. The technique composes multiple sharply focused exposures to create a composite image with extended depth, potentially letting actors move freely on set without losing focus. Hollywood tests will confirm if the system truly matches human eye range and enhances stage like audience immersion.
